Vernon L. Pollock, 90, of Bruin, passed away Monday, Oct. 12, 2026, at Magnolia Place in Saxonburg.

Born April 5, 1936, he was the son of the late Merle and Sarah Gaye Jordon Pollock. He graduated from Parker High School in 1954. Vern worked at the former Witco Chemical Plant in Petrolia for 37 years, first in the carbon plant and later in the boiler house, retiring in 2001.
